      That argument comes from an idealistic view of things and that is never a good way to analyse the world. Don’t underestimate the power of systems.

      Have you ever thought that ideologies are the ideas of a person and that bad people have bad ideologies, ever heard of nazism or fascism? Do you think they would be awesome if the best person in the world was using them? I doubt

          clearly ignorant about the measurable effects of wealth/power on human cognition. also ignorant of actual systems of power and control, you understand a vibe and how much you love yourself. please read a book written by someone serious.

          and hook me up with your drug dealer, I need the good shit.

          The good and effective dictator, that rules just and only has the well-beeing of his people in mind. Sounds good right? It might actually have existed a few times in history, but is the absolute exception. The reason for that is, that it includes an individual that has to have absurdly high moral standards and compassion in a system that encourages a totally different behaviour. Where should this moral come from? When somthing like that happens, it is not more than a fluke.

        Absolutely not, that much should be obvious.

        Good people will ignore or bend the system for good, evil people will use it to be even more evil.

          and do you think every tool is equally applicable to ‘good’ and ‘evil’? do you think the demon core and a current edition of the ICD have the same relative potentials for use/abuse? can I try your drugs?
